I'm Julie and I'm so happy you're here.
Your story matters and my mission is to help you live it fully, with strength, clarity, and God-given purpose.
For so many women, life looks successful on the outside, but inside, they feel tired, disconnected, or unsure of who they’re becoming.
I know that feeling and it’s exactly why I created Japple Wellness. My coaching is not about perfection or pressure. It’s about rebuilding your inner world with intention, restoring your connection with God, and helping you step into the woman He created you to be.
My passion for wellness started long before Japple Wellness existed.
I grew up in a military family surrounded by faith, discipline, and the entrepreneurial spirit that shaped so much of who I am.
Healthy habits were woven into my home life, and somewhere along the journey, wellness shifted from something I practiced to something I felt called to share.
In 2014, I launched Japple Fitness, beginning a decade-long season of coaching hundreds of clients through personal training, nutrition, and healthier living.
Back then, I thought I understood wellness, but God had much more to show me.
The biggest transition of my life opened my eyes to the deeper work women truly need.
The last few years brought some of the most stretching and beautiful transitions of my life: marriage, motherhood, moving, and navigating change at a pace I didn’t expect. With each season came a new invitation to grow, reflect, and look inward.
I began to realize that wellness isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, spiritual, relational, and mental. It’s the quiet connection with God that guides us through change, the habits that support our peace, and the clarity that shapes our purpose.
These experiences opened my eyes to the deeper work women truly need: restoration, mindset support, emotional healing, and the space to reconnect with who God created them to be.
That’s when my coaching shifted from fitness alone to whole-person, faith-centered transformation.
My background in personal training, nutrition, and faith has led me to where I am today.
It was eye-opening. It was healing. And it was a gift I knew I wanted to bring to the women I coach.
Becoming a Certified Habit Finder Life Coach gave me the ability to combine mindset work with my background in personal training, nutrition, and faith. Now, Habit Finder is a core part of the transformation my clients experience because real change begins with the thoughts that shape our habits.
I guide women through holistic, grace-filled journey of rediscovery and restoration.

- Nutrition support
- Movement & physical wellness

My approach is both structured and deeply personal. It’s rooted in faith, strengthened by science, and shaped by the real-life challenges women face every day. I meet you where you are, not where you think you “should” be, and walk with you as you reconnect with God, rebuild confidence, and step into clarity and purpose.
Women often describe coaching with me as a safe place to land. A place to breathe again. A place where they feel genuinely seen, supported, and encouraged.

My life outside of coaching is filled with family, faith, and movement.
I married my husband, Jason, in 2019, and in 2020 we welcomed our daughter, Lily, a season that softened me, stretched me, and strengthened my faith in beautiful ways. My favorite place in the world is Hawaii. The beach is where I feel closest to God, most inspired, and fully alive.
Movement continues to be an important part of my life. You’ll often find me coaching or working out at Burn Boot Camp, where fitness serves as both my mental reset and my community. It’s a reminder of what our bodies and minds can do when we care for them well and a joy I love sharing with others.
My experience is backed by 15 years of experience and training.
